Some Questions on Reading Poetry II

Check the comments from Nick Piombino, Jim McCrary, Tim Peterson, Shanna Compton, Chris and Tom Beckett to the set of questions posed below. Of particular interest, one I hope to address in the near future, is the way we read -- or can't read -- poetry online.

thanks for the Q's on poetry reading. reading on-line is fine. esp. to get a feel for someone's work (famous or not). i just found Matthea Harvey's book (pity bathtub) and then Mark Yakich's book (unrelated individuals) on-line after reading a bunch of poems. but, look, the book's the thing! went right out to Powell's and got copies of both books.
